MaHKU comprises five disciplines, i.e. Editorial Design, Fashion Design, Fine Art, Interior Design, and Public Space Design. We offer an MA curriculum both discipline-specific and interdisciplinary entailing a mixture of provocative seminars and workshops. MaHKU is accredited by the Open University in London. Upon successful completion of the Master programme you earn the internationally acknowledged title of Master of Arts (MA). Check here for information about the accreditation/validation process. Master programmes in art and design focus on a research-based process of creation. As a Master student, you critically reflect on the boundaries of your discipline through research methodologies, a variety of theoretical discourses, and interdisciplinary activities. But you will also engage in a rich mix of discipline-specific topics and discussions. Last but not least, in this master year, you will produce project-based art/design work contexualized by your research essay. A research-based process of creation is different from the Bachelor's focus on acquiring solid skills and techniques needed to become a full-fledged art or design professional. As a Master student, you will learn to contextualize your work in the broad perspective of a number of creative disciplines and theoretical discourses. A successful Master degree makes your work, your creative process, and your profession even more dynamic and complex.
